Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

so if I were a betting man-here is how the seeds probably shake out- so assuming Nova and PC lose on Saturday to Creighton and UConn respectively...
Key game is Xavier vs Marquette. If Marquette wins:
6 Villanova 10-10 vs 11 DePaul 0-20
7 Providence 10-10 vs 10 Georgetown 2-18
8/9 Xavier 9-11 vs Butler 9-11

BET QF:
1 UConn 18-2 vs X/Butler winner
4 Seton Hall 13-7 vs 5 St John's 11-9
2 Creighton 14-6 vs PC/Georgetown winner
3 Marquette 14-6 vs Nova/DePaul winner

Thursday night could be something else- Providence and Nova needing wins to seal NCAA tourney bids.

If Xavier wins
6 Villanova 10-10 vs 11 DePaul 0-20
7 Xavier 10-10 vs 10 Georgetown 2-18
8 Providence 10-10 vs 9 Butler 9-11

QF
1 UConn 18-2 vs PC/Butler winner
4 Marquette 13-7 vs 5 St John's 11-9
2 Creighton 14-6 vs X/Georgetown winner
3 Seton Hall 13-7 vs Nova/DePaul winner

Incredibly different scenario for sure.

The semis are always great, but this year they're going to be

Neptune went on record last night saying Saturday against Creighton was Nova’s “Super Bowl”.

I am not assuming a Creighton win.

so right now we know for sure-
1 UConn
2 Creighton

10 Georgetown
11 DePaul

and now we know all but 5-7...
1 UConn
2 Creighton
3 Marquette
4 Seton Hall

8 Butler
9 Xavier
10 Georgetown
11 DePaul

If Providence wins:
5 Providence
6 St John's
7 Villanova

if UConn wins:
5 St John's
6 Villanova
7 Providence

So Providence/Georgetown in the BET with PC needing a win to have really any prayer of the NCAA tourney.

Feel
Pretty confident about Seton Hall. I guess we root for St John’s? Not sure if they’re comfortable or not. Probably not.

PC and Nova probably both need 2 wins to dance.

seeing bracket I didn't realize that the SF this year are on Big Fox. 530 and 8pm.
(oops reading it again only the 530 one.)

I'm looking forward to watching 9 Mountain West teams in the NCAA tourney. F-ck it, just let freakin San Jose State and Air Force join the party too.

The Big East deserves at least 6 bids. And anything under 5 means Ackerman isn't doing her job.

The UConn effect.
